Sharing the court with former NBA players and big-time prospects, Cole had already made a mark in the basketball world. While that is impressive enough, the rapper even went to score in his debut. Lurking in the corner, Cole got a sweet look from distance and knocked it down with no hesitation. His perfect swish had fans going crazy as they took to Twitter to react to Cole’s major achievement.

However, while J. Cole had his night, the NBA world was left a little upset to know that he ended up on the losing side. His team, the Scarborough Shooting Stars, dropped the game 89-80 against Guelph Nighthawks in the season opener.

Scarborough and Nighthawks both had notable talent on their sides. Cole’s teammates, Harris, and Xavier Rathan-Mayes are both former NBA prospects who have shared the floor with the absolute best. On the other hand, the Nighthawks have Ahmed Hill, who played preseason games with the Charlotte Hornets, and he came in as the savior. Despite being up for most of the game, the Nighthawks stole the game late and reached the target score to seal the win.
